That beautiful shot of 'Starman' in a Tesla Roadster is your new wallpaper
Say hello to your new wallpaper.
And then say thank you to SpaceX, and to Reddit. On Tuesday, Reddit user "AB-nebula" posted a gorgeous wallpaper of the space hero Starman -- a spacesuit behind the wheel of the Tesla Roadster Elon Musk launched into space on board the Falcon Heavy rocket -- with Earth in the background, to r/Wallpapers.
The images were first shared to Twitter by Marques Brownlee.

If you, like us, want to be constantly reminded of Starman and his courage, you have a number of wallpaper options. Other Reddit users have incorporated our favorite Tesla driver into creative wallpapers, such as user "Tutkular" who vectorized the images for a cool futuristic effect.
And user "PutThatCatDown" rolled out an over-the-shoulder look at the Earth and the car's "Don't Panic" message.
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy launched our dear friend into space Tuesday afternoon. If all goes as planned, he and his vehicle should be floating around space for approximately a billion years -- so there should be plenty of photo opportunities.
